no carlos vela? he's better then quite a few of those players.
Proves that Alcantara and Assulin were wrongly left out when the promotes to the first team happened. They are easily the best in the B squad and, despite their age, should had made it into the first team this year.
Also, I would prefer if some of these players were people that Barca looked at instead of Silva, Drogba, Trez, etc.
NINIS he shouldnt be wrote as an Albanian he is a traitor. f uck the bastard he changed his name, and became a greek s ucker. sorry for being unrude.
And i see only two real starts in that list BOJAN KRKIC, and GAI hopefully.
Visca el barca
What about THIAGO ALCANTARA, on the last friendly he scored twice, is he the son of our legend, think so.
Heres the count i got
Barca- 6
Sevilla-3
Valencia-3
Real Madrid-2
Atletico- 2
Real Valladolid- 2
Villareal- 1
Athletic- 1
Racing- 1
Para siempre Barca
You guys heard about Khalfan Ibrahim Khalfan al Khalfan? Plays for Qatar I think, born in 1988, two years ago (2006) he was choosen the best Asian footballer of the year, as a 18 year old......Quite impressive if you ask me, but Don Balón obviusly doesn't think so.
I'm a big hard fan of Argentina, out of 10 Argentines listed, I really like Angel Di Maria, Maxi Moralez, Ever Banega and of course Kun Aguero and above all Leo Messi. For our future stars, Thiago and Assulin are very promising.
